On Oct. 18 at 10 a.m., frisbee golfers from all across the area will be converging onto The Woods at SMU.

Why come? Beyond enjoying the beautiful autumn weather and having fun with friends, the event is co-sponsored by Innova Disc Golf, and each participant will receive a SMU customized commemorative Innova disc. For those who believe themselves to be rather skilled at frolfing (frisbee golfing), prizes may be another incentive. First prize is an Innova DISCcatcher Sport (a portable disc carrier), Innova Deluxe disc golf bag and three Innova discs. Second prize includes an Innova Deluxe disc golf bag and three Innova discs. Third place wins three Innova discs.

There is a $15 entry fee for students and a $25 entry fee for the general public. Proceeds are going toward course maintenance.

The Open will consist of two rounds of 18 holes each. There is also a $3 buy-in Ace Pot on holes 1 and 18 (if you get a hole-in-one you win the cash).

Among those planning to attend the event is freshman Alex Bilski. He does not think he has much of a shot to win but is expecting to have a good time nonetheless. “I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of people out there,” said Bilski.

Davey Warner, outdoor leadership coordinator for student development, said, “It’s gonna be wicked sweet.”

Pre-register online at www.smumn.edu/thewoods, or register by mail. Cash and checks are accepted; make checks payable to SMU. Money is accepted on the day of the event.
